Lesley's ordeal began at her home in Shropshire on 14 January, when her mother Dorothy went to wake her daughter and found an empty bed. In the lounge, there were three ransom notes demanding ?50,000 and a warning not to involve the police. Seven weeks later, Lesley was found hanging from a wire at the bottom of the drainage shaft where Neilson had tethered her.
